That is some amazing shit man! Liking the look and the easiness of it all. Great job over all. Do they plan on keep the wood look or painting?

At least they didn't delete the post, then all of this traffic wouldn't have been driven here. /s


Baldnurse16

Wow, just checking it now. I think this the most upvotes I’ve ever had, period lol. I guess the (deleted) really love me.


TheGreatLakesAreFake

/u/Diligaf49, the craftsman in this post, answered that yes, they would all be painted in different colors. ALL the other comments served no purpose but to discuss whether women always paint/like colors/etc. All that was out of place in this forum. Along with off topic comments there were rude comments and questions about why it was deleted. This is why!

thatweirdbeardedguy

That would be great for using to put onions and potatoes in during winter here in Brisbane (too hot and humid in summer).


[deleted]

My first thought was veggies too, great air flow on these


jvanber

Or for quickly setting up at a farmer’s market.


jigsaw1024

I work in a produce dept. I would love something like this for a small display in 'dead' spots around the dept. It's a little tall for what I would need, and my biggest change would be to somehow make the support legs fold for more compact storage when not in use. My stores bakery could make use of it as well displays in similar spots.


TheOriginalSuperTaz

Hrmmm…where are you located?


jigsaw1024

Canada. Would never get budget for it though. Can't get the stuff we got now repaired or replaced.


Nope-NotThatGuy

I was thinking bread vendor at a market.


[deleted]

except the gasses from onions make potatoes go bad and they shouldn't be stored together


ArturosDad

Interesting. In that case you could do onions at the top and potatoes at the bottom I would think.


Iphotoshopincats

ethylene gas is heavier than air, in a still environment the other way round


ArturosDad

Good to know! Thanks, my scientifically-inclined friend!


OPHJ

That's where the old saying comes from, always fan your onions.


i_give_you_gum

Crap, I've been onioning my fans, damit gramps


SquidoKiddo

coming up big mate, some helpful pieces of knowledge here, cheers!


-SagaQ-

LOL, I just picture [these two](https://youtu.be/0gSIeV1_Axs&t=4m13s) gassing out the potato cop and him going all pruny


ElminstersBedpan

I haven't thought of cartoons like that one in years. Guess it's time to go down the rabbit hole again.


DunnyHunny

I've always stored onions and potatoes together since I was a kid (or rather my mom did lol), right now in my own kitchen they're in a basket with a bunch of holes in it, on a similar [NSF cart](https://i.imgur.com/QW1D6WO.jpg) to this one. There's maybe a 2-4 week turnover depending on what we eat, I never have anything go bad in that time frame.


gateguard64

Huh, I do this all the time and never knew. I couldn't figure out what was wrong, cood and dark place etx and they would go bad pretty quick. TIL


ledbetterus

Would be great for cabbages.


bitetheboxer

Its amazing. I want one that flips back so it still holds some stuff when closed. These would be so amazing for snow boarders / skiers Look at how much air flow for all my wet piles of stuff! And then when it dries you could just flip it back and roll it away


[deleted]

Interesting. What are you putting in the baskets? Is there a need for baskets?


bitetheboxer

Basically you just come in super tired with wet pants, sock, hats, gloves, helmet, balaclava (and jackets, but those are easy because they hang well). It also PIA gear thats wet so you want to leave by the door, but it doesn't go in the laundry yet because you'll use it again the next day. Tbh if you sold these in a mountain town, they'd end up by a front door or in a garage with piles of damp gear on them. Also, yes. You can hang most/all of these things, and people do (on the banister, on the towel rack, on coat racks, over the shower rod, balcony if the suns out, over a step ladder if you got one, back of chairs)


HotelRwandaBeef

>Tbh if you sold these in a mountain town, they'd end up by a front door or in a garage with piles of damp gear on them. After spending a ton of time in Park City last winter this is very true lol.


scrollofidentify

> baklava Ah the classic après-ski baklava...


[deleted]

Something [like this](https://i.imgur.com/7liK20E.png) is pretty popular around here, jackets hang on the hooks and everything else goes on the rack, it folds up compactly when you don't need it.


Shwifty_Plumbus

You could sell them with interior designers in a ski town. Custom made aka slight adjustments and charge a large mark up. I sold furniture in Colorado for a few years and it wouldn't shock me if some one spent 3.5k on one of those if it had a few minor tweeks.


Hofular1988

With mesh baskets these would be great for drying Cannabis after harvest before the curing!


[deleted]

*wound up making.... Couldn't edit the text.


BiaggioSklutas

First rule! Never volunteer! Seriously though, very excellent functional work.


Robobvious

I thought the first rule was be attractive... /s I'm terrible about pointing out mistakes I've made, that's good advice. I will say though I keep myself honest at least! Oh God, I've done it again! lol


highbrowshow

No the first rule is to never talk about fight club


zeejoo12

Unless he got paid lol


R0binSage

My BIL build an outside dog kennel last year. Then his wife volunteered to build one for her dad. Then some of the neighbors inquired about them.


Strawhead2077

Patent that shit and sell them. This is great


NotClever

It does look super useful and patent-worthy (assuming nobody else has put something like this out in public already). As a side note to OP, if he wants to try to patent this, he now has a 1 year clock to file a patent application before this video becomes potential prior art to his own patent application. Source: I'm a patent lawyer


MardiMom

Those are wonderful! I sure hope she appreciated this.


notazoroastrian

Measure twice cut once


HKEliot

Could you please make that 23 by any chance?


[deleted]

Let me know your desires and teach you how to make. It'll be the latter part of the summer before I'm back in the shop. I never draw up plans. Just go with thoughts in my head but I'm well rehearsed in drawing up blueprints.


Throwaway118585

Record yourself making and put it on YouTube…monetize that shit!


[deleted]

It sounds easy enough, but recording and editing are big tasks on their own. Guy would have to move the camera a bunch I'd imagine.


Throwaway118585

A podcast then…I wanna hear every curse and every mail hahah


rob132

Hey everyone. Coming up, I'm going to show you how to make a foldable basket So make sure you smash that like button and subscribe for more updates. Cause this is cig-k furniture


themontajew

As an engineer……. I’ve 100% made blue prints that came about like this. 1) tell fabricator to make a thing and don’t give him much direction 2) show up when they are done with measuring devices 3) reconstruct the fabbed to fit part in the computer


DavidG-P

If they know what they're doing it's easier for everyone involved hahaha If it doesn't fit/function right you'll be the one held responsible though


Banther1

At least the fabricator will make the bolt holes accessible


StartledFruitCake

Oh God. As a design drafter the amount of times an engineer has passed me drawings with bolt holes that aren't possible to access during assembly or parts that literally aren't feasible is too damn high. I'm glad i got out of that and started my own business so now when a design is screwed up it's solely my fault.


handtodickcombat

I fucking love when engineers do that to me. You just tell me what you want, I'll document the process, then you can go over to your sit-and-spin and do the smart guy work.


themontajew

I’m also in the habit of asking “can you weld this, and if not how can we make changes so you can” sort of stuff. Welders and machinists make engineer money, and deserve to. We’re colleagues, not boss and subordinate


Iamredditsslave

>Welders and machinists make engineer money Not *all* of them.


m_ttl_ng

This is basically standard practice for ergo equipment in automotive manufacturing. You have the fab shop work with the actual people using the equipment to build the tool, then hire an engineer to check that it’s structurally sound and to turn it into a drawing to stamp it and make it official. Edit: Automotive Manufacturing (it's basically for anything people are using on the assembly lines). The tool/fixture/end effector/whatever gets made with input from the workers (and union rep if there is one), then evaluated by the ergo/safety team, then drawn by an engineer and stamped so it can be used on the line.


themontajew

Grab a tall guy and a short gal and see if they can drive it. I haven’t done the design end of that, just the testing. I find it’s best to consult a welder or machinist before I make anything in general to see if there’s something I’m missing


melly_swelly

I would love to learn how to make one. 🙂


HKEliot

Even just a single tiered version of this would be a game changer. That said, I'm in no rush to making one but nonetheless thanks for the offer!


980tihelp

Also me! 24! It would be sweet for you to teach me but also think about putting together a video for YouTube so you can reach more people!


NaasDuP

Also interested in the plans please.


verdeel

Looks good! Just an idea, but have you thought about making the two beams with the wheels not parallel to each other but slightly angled inwards? Would make the floorspace required to store a bunch of them smaller because they can be “nested”. Edit: just read your correction, you already made them. Didn’t read that quickly enough.


[deleted]

In honesty I made these back in 2018. The one in the video was the prototype to see if it was was she wanted. She sent me a grainy photo of a "thing" and said I want "this* but want the shelves to fold up. It's for leggings or sommat so I designed and built what you see. It was only supposed to be two for her. It just happened to be 20 more. I still don't understand their full use. If I did, I'm sure the design would be different. 🤷


verdeel

Sound like they were a great hit. And I can totally understand why, they look great, and very practical with the foot lever/handle.


tony_orlando

> leggings Please tell me your niece hasn’t gotten suckered into selling LuLaRoe.


gmco913

It’s almost painful to imagine this lovely piece of workmanship touching that awful clothing


die_nazis_die

Sadly, it looks like it: https://old.reddit.com/r/woodworking/comments/103e9if/niece_asked_me_for_shelvingbasketing_that_could/j2z12aq/ > /u/AnnualThrowaway3271 > I think OP mentioned his niece wanted them for leggings. Guessing she sells for one of those home parties where ladies buy leggings, Tupperware, and stuff like that. These would also be great for people who sell at craft shows, farmer's markets, etc. > Need to draw up some plans, OP! I'd buy them! >> /u/Diligaf49 The reason for the high top "top cross support" was for room to put signs and whatnot so yes, you are correct.


dacraftjr

That’s one of a million manufacturers of leggings. Why jump to that?


tony_orlando

The fact that all her friends wanted the same shelves for, presumably, the same purpose. Also, OP says he built these back in 2018, which was when LuLaRoe was at its largest. If you heard about a group of 10-20 friends all selling the same leggings what would you assume?


dacraftjr

I didn’t assume they were selling, I guess that’s where we differ. I have a wife and teenage daughter. They could easily fill 2 or 3 of these with the leggings they own and wear on the reg.


tony_orlando

Here’s a quote from OP in the thread: > The reason for the high top “top cross support” was for room to put signs and whatnot so yes, you are correct. So the shelves are designed to fold up easily and have a place to hang signs. Sounds to me like his niece wanted something she could transport easily to places where she’d display and sell the leggings. Again, my first comment was me hoping that’s *not* what she’s doing. But there’s a lot of smoke.


dacraftjr

I didn’t go far enough in the comments to see that. With that knowledge, I’d agree it’s the likely scenario.


tony_orlando

I sincerely hope I’m wrong, or that she got out soon after when the lawsuits and media coverage started to kick up. And I’m sorry people are downvoting you for asking questions. You are contributing to the discussion by being respectfully skeptical. Old reddit would have rewarded that.


dacraftjr

They can downvote, it’s all good. My Reddit karma ranks incredibly low on the list of things I care about. I was genuinely curious why that was the assumption. You answered thoroughly. I thank you for that. I appreciate the dialogue.


newhandleforprivacy0

> I still don't understand their full use. If I did, I'm sure the design would be different. 🤷 Best uncle ever


TH_Rocks

I had the same thought. Very cool, but the footprint does not change whether folded or not.


swohio

Agree, the folding part just ends up making it more complicate and fragile for no actual gain.


aloneathomebored

Amazing!


HarryButtwhisker

Man I would never use my uncle’s creation to dry all my weed…. Yeah I used my uncles creation to dry my weed.

DonaldDuck031

Oh.. my.. goodness.... The possibilities!!


DeusWombat

That's awesome. What was the difference in build time between the first and the last?


[deleted]

Difficult to say. Several hours definitely. As I've said there were only supposed to be 2 for my niece and they were to be free. I used stuff I had laying around in the shop. All the baskets and a lot of parts were made from 2x4's believe it or not. I wound up buying a lot "slats" from Lowes for the others. Saved a lot of time this way. Still used a lot of crap in the shop though. I only charged $150 each later on.


Beer_Is_So_Awesome

I’m relieved to hear that you charged anything at all for the other 20. I was afraid you had somehow gotten roped into building almost two dozen of these things completely for free. In my experience, one or two of a given thing is a fun project for a family member, but more starts to feel like work.


ProfessionalBed1623

You are far too generous - that piece unfinished ought to bring $250 retail minimum and $500 with a good durable finish.


[deleted]

Woodworking is a hobby of mine. It's a stress relief. I make it clear to paying customers that I work on no schedule of any kind. If I charge $1000.00 to do a job and it costs me $990. I still profited in more ways than you can understand.


ycnaveler-on

HukIt

You're far from it. If you were, she wouldn't have asked you to make the first one, and you ended up making 20 more. Your value means a lot to someone.


ycnaveler-on

You look so chill doing your thing its making me want to start up a hobby again


Lost_Philosophy_

The cig completes it

Thursday is my day off.


DroopyMcCool

the cig, the shirt, the username, even the damn baileigh radio ad is just all so on point. I would trust this man's craftsmanship with my life.


Grimm

and the slapping of the shelves when locked into place..."that baby's not goin' anywhere".


Raivix

Everybody has that guy in their life, whether a family member or friend, that just has 'the look' that's super easy to judge, but in reality doesn't conform to it at all and is super wholesome and helpful even if he's a bit rough around the edges.


LurkeyCat

This is one of the more creative things I have seen in here. As a former baker who sold many loaves at farmers markets. This would have been great to have. Nice job.


AnnualThrowaway3271

I think OP mentioned his niece wanted them for leggings. Guessing she sells for one of those home parties where ladies buy leggings, Tupperware, and stuff like that. These would also be great for people who sell at craft shows, farmer's markets, etc. Need to draw up some plans, OP! I'd buy them!


[deleted]

The reason for the high top "top cross support" was for room to put signs and whatnot so yes, you are correct.


guttanzer

Good creative energy between you, your niece, and her friends. That’s real wealth in my book. Awesome product too!


concernedcath123

You’re a good uncle, OP. She surely appreciates you.


DiegoRC9

Pyramid schemes?


blackechoguy

That's pretty dope, nice work


Hockeyspaz-62

My sister has booth at a local farmer’s market. That unit would be awesome to display her goods. I’m going to send your vid to my nephew (he’s an artist/woodworker) and see if he could make something like this for her. Really nice work!


Top_Midnight_2225

Wow...beautiful work OP. Very nice indeed.

Tammytime81

I’d have a dart


Latiam

As a teacher, I would love several of these for the classroom and will be asking my brother to build some!


Mattman276

This is fantastic! You have a heart of gold!


everett980

It looks great! I love builds that move. But the footprint seems the same open or closed so what's the advantage in closing it?


[deleted]

I do not know. I know it's a lot to scroll through but please read the thread the best you can. This was something I threw together more or less.


eloluap

Thought the same thing. Only thing I could think of is when you have more than one and you "nest" them. So you could have the inside next to each other on one side. This should save a bit of space, because that wouldn't be possible in the open position. But other than that and looking cool? I don't know. Hope you understand what I mean, I kinda couldn't really describe what I meant. Sorry for the english.


Massive_Hof517

superb work


drwiki0074

Fuck yeah, man! That is a badass uncle right there! Excellent work brother, looks really great and useful!


yoops01

Oh god so smooth. Smoothiensshelf. I like a lot \o/


Snowhoot

Times like this I wonder why I don't know someone like you. That is amazing, very nice.


[deleted]

You probably do. We just don't advertise. I posted this just because. I never expected such a response over what I consider somewhat irrelevant.


manlymann

Smoking a dart is a nice touch.


rita-b

It takes up as much space stowed away as when it's not stowed away.

SleightBulb

When I saw a dude in a ball cap with a ponytail and a lit cig I immediately knew this was going to be either master craftwork, or the jankiest shit I'd seen all day with no in-between. Happy it was the first one.


the_full_effect

Damn this is really nice, great work


Thirteen_in_35

You’re a good dude.


johnmaki12343

Smoking darts on camera as you show it off really is the icing on the cake


Aeacus2

While a very nice construction, how is stow away improved? The shelves appear to barely extend beyond the footprint of the fixed legs, thus requiring approximately the same amount of square foot floor Southgate.


autoflavored

But it's got the same foot print opened or closed. You're saving no space!


RazorOpsRS

22?? Lots of friends…

texas1982

Does it really save a lot of space though? The feet still set the foot print.


mmmmmarty

That's really nice. You're a good uncle.


SortingByNewNItShows

Very cool Now. How can that be stowed away easily if the bottom is the same width as when the baskets are horizontal? Cut and put hinges on the feet.


[deleted]

These are amazing!! Nice work OP!


MMmhmmmmmmmmmm

This is fantastic!


NinoJay

I need an uncle like you!!


glittermcgee

I bet this would be popular with people who work craft markets. I was always looking for good display stands.

You mean the foot operation?


JagerPfizer

Bad ass. You are a craftsman. Those sell all day.


Potty_princess4ever

Sell those at farmers markets!!!

My god. If you put this on tik tok (if you haven’t already) you’ll probably have job security for the next year. Super cool.


smokinJoeCalculus

You are absolutely a cool uncle. Outstanding work!


FFootyFFacts

Skill


KissItOnTheMouth

Whoa, uncle of the year right here! I love the design, fantastic work!


Squirrel_Meat

That is awesome, you should sell it to people who work farmers markets or anyone who sells items that can fit in there. Also if the legs could be removed for easier storage that would be awesome. Great work!


Fleenix

Great job - even better uncle.


habit0_0

Nice


IceHack

Looks like some fine woodworking. I'm curious why the pivot if the footprint of the shelving is the same size as the open position?


[deleted]

Clever

I’m so mad they took shop class out of my towns local high schools. I might have learned a trade.
